CREAM OF BROCCOLI OR CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Ingredients:

  • 6 tbsp. butter or margarine
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped onion
  • 5 tbsp. flour (add more for thicker soup)
  • 1 c. chicken broth
  • 2 c. milk
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • Dash of pepper
  • 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen or fresh chopped broccoli, thawed or 10 oz. fresh cauliflower, chopped very small
  • 6 oz. Velveeta cheese

Instructions:

Microwave: In large glass bowl; heat butter and onion 1 1/2-2 minutes on high, blend in flour. Gradually add birth,

milk, salt and pepper; stirring until smooth. On medium, heat 7-9 minutes or until soup is slightly thickened, stirring

occasionally. Add broccoli or cauliflower and Velveeta, puree in blender. Return to bowl and heat 3-4 minutes,

stirring once. Hint: I like to use both cauliflower and broccoli together--even the kids love it.

Makes about 4

servings.
